Dr. Seuss’ birthday is this Friday!  Our class will be joining with several other lower el. classes to celebrate.  Each class will be providing a  different activity. Our class will be having a reading marathon.  Please have your child bring their favorite Dr. Seuss book or any book of their choice.  We would appreciate having each child bring a snack to share.  I have included a link below for Dr. Seuss-themed party foods so you can be really creative if you choose.

Thank you,

Our field trip is tomorrow.  Ms. Sharon and I will be waiting out in front of the school by 8:20 to walk with the children to the bus stop.  We will be leaving promptly at 8:30, so please make sure your child is here on time.

Each child needs to bring a sack lunch and disposable water bottle.  Please do not send any other types of drinks or anything that is likely to spill.  We will be eating at the Eccles Conference Center and there are no tables or chairs.

We will be returning to the school by 2pm, so pick-up will be at the usual time.

Thank you,
Ms. Krista

Dear Parents-

I sent home a field trip form and waiver with the following information (please sign it and return by next week):

Our class will be going on a field trip to the Storytelling Festival on Tuesday, Feb. 25.  We will be leaving from the school promptly at 8:30am and taking the UTA bus from Washington Blvd. down to the Eccles Conference Center.  Please make sure you child arrives on time.  We will not be able to wait for anyone who is tardy.    We will return to the school by 2pm. 

Please provide a sack lunch and disposable water bottle.

Please let me know as soon as possible if your child will not be attending the field trip.  There is a minimal fee for each child attending, which will be paid for by the school, but we need to have a final count by the end of next week.

I hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day!  Just a reminder that there will be no school on Monday due to President’s Day.  Have a great weekend!

Enjoy these pics from International Festival and Valentine’s Day:

Here is the payment link to order pizza.  I’m also adding this link as a permanent page so it will be easy to find.

Happy Chinese New Year!

We celebrated Chinese New Year today by making red envelopes and writing good luck wishes.  Each child drew a name randomly and then wrote a special good luck wish and delivered it in the envelope.  The kids loved getting their own special envelope. Ask your child what their good luck wish was.

Next week is a busy week.

• South America presentations are due Monday-Wednesday.
• Parent Teacher Conferences are Wednesday-Friday  (We will also be having a book fair during conferences)
• International Festival is Thursday.   Hopefully your child gave you the flier that was sent home yesterday.

We will be starting “Pizza Fridays” next week,  Pizza must be purchased weekly by Wednesday for 1.75/slice.  It must be paid for by check or through the school web-site.  We cannot accept cash. You can order up to 4 week in advance and as many slices as you wish.  Pizza will start next Friday so orders and checks will need to be in by Wednesday.

We look forward to seeing you next week!

Ms. Krista
